  1. Then there's this (not sure if anyone reported on this yet; searched MW forums and found nothing): https://tformers.com/55251 Just rumors so far (like Magnus and Grimlock)...
  2. Ah; not familiar with that one, I'm afraid.
  3. They can, but this is the second set of these I bought, and the us symbols on them were wrong; I had to use the last few spares I had that I made up. All of that is gone now. I simply have no desire nor ability to purchase the "accurized" ones off of ebay (not to mention paying 250 dollars in tariffs from china!). And printer ink is ridiculous now. So sadly, this will just sit on the shelf until it crumbles to dust. I've redone this model so many times and nearly had it finished when this fiasco hit; I don't EVER want to build another Tomcat for the rest of my life. I prefer this version:
  4. UPDATE: just waiting on decals for my TOS Enterprise. Shuttle is nearly done, taking a break from that. Meantime, the 1/48 Top Gun Tomcat Kit is cursed. I applied the decals, then scratched the canopy. Okay, no big deal, protected the decals on the nose and polished the canopy using sanding films I normally do and it came out fine. So I then cleaned up the canopy protection... Managed to wreck the damned decals on the nose AND the wings. I didn't even bother getting mad; I just put the model on the shelf in the closet, closed the door, and started banging my head against a brick wall. I just don't even know now... even giving up doesn't equate to my level of despair on this one. Maverick and Goose must friggin' hate me or something. Not looking for advice or anything; I think I'm beyond that point here. If anyone needs me, I'm going to go find a nice deep coal mine or something to crawl into and take the elevator down. And load 16 tons...
  5. Coincidentally, there is a book called Ozma of Oz; hearkening back to Ozma in Frontier perhaps?
  6. Heckuva first post!!! Very nice!! And a hearty welcome to MacrossWorld Forums!
  7. *chases judge down the hall*
  8. Understood; I feel the same way about my work, I just don't like it being judged by folks whose criteria is so esoteric that it was formed back when you had to make your own models out of stones and sticks!
  9. This is one reason why I don't enter contests or shows: too many "judges" I feel are so stodgy or set in their ways that their criteria for decisions is way off, They'd utterly hate how much masking tape I use on my stuff.
  10. Saw that and reported a couple of them; way too many posts!
  11. It looks like it will be so bad, that even if they show it on a plane as the in-flight movie, people will still walk out on it! O.o
  12. According to wikipedia, PG-13 as July 1 1984: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_Picture_Association_film_rating_system
  13. No, I just said I didn't see how it made a difference, and that-- Tell you what: I'll solve this for you. I just put you on ignore, so that way you don't have to worry about me commenting on any of your posts. My best friend was just diagnosed with Glioblastoma; I don't need this crap today. Departing topic.
  14. Kindly... don't complain about someone's opinion when you ask for it: My comment of "I don't see how a desaturated paint job makes much difference, other than that several years later, someone forgot to repaint the ships." is my reply to your question of "how far off do you think I'd be with this interpretation of Battle 7?" I simply do not see a desaturated paint job as making any remarkable difference in the interpretation. You threw a pic of your work up without much context other than asking "how far off" would it be; that invites people to tell you what they think of it in those terms. I decided it didn't make much difference in my opinion and replied as such. Maybe if you had included the other photos with the same explanation you included in your rebuttal to me, it would have given me more info to consider while deciding what I thought of it. Instead, it came across as "I gotcha!! Now stop picking on me!!", and I find that intellectually dishonest.
  15. That's fine; I'm not sure I accept your synopsis of my post as correct. There's a reason they developed that technology, and the Anti-UEG wasn't primarily it: Source: https://macross.fandom.com/wiki/Unification_Wars As for this comment: As the saying goes: "Generals always fight the last war"; in UN Spacy's case, the generals plans were for the warfare they thought would come, based on the wars they had fought. They didn't have in mind that the next one would be a space-based war. I don't see how a desaturated paint job makes much difference, other than that several years later, someone forgot to repaint the ships.
